Updated: Wednesday, December 20, 2023 09:08 PM
The jackpot in the multi-state Powerball lottery drawing climbed to $620,000,000 for the Saturday drawing. The lump-sum cash payout will be an estimated $$310.8 million up for grab. None of the tickets sold for Wednesday's $572,000,000 drawing hit 5 lotto numbers and the Powerball number. The winning numbers from Wednesday, December 20th, 2023 drawing were 27, 35, 41, 56, 60 with Power Ball 16.
Although the jackpot was not hit Wednesday evening, Powerball had some big winners. There were five 2nd prize winning tickets from Wednesday night's Powerball drawing, matching all five white ball numbers but not the Powerball number. The 3 ticket(s) in Colorado(1), Kentucky(1) and Virginia(1) matched all 5 lotto numbers with the Power Play for an incredible $2,000,000 cash win! This is part of the Powerball lottery feature that guarantees a certain multiplier on all match 5 white ball winners that also have the Power Play option pushing the prize to 2 million dollar cash. Two other lucky ticket(s) purchased in Kentucky(1) and Rhode Island(1), each won $1 million cash by matching all 5 white ball numbers!
